Patent EP-0742535-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MATSUBARA KUNIHIRO
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 1996-05-07
Abstract: An image processing device which displays an
image of a letter string input on a display screen, and
displaying either the image of a frame which surrounds the
letter string or an image of a letter string modifying
figure which modifies the letter string. In order to
facilitate the inputting and displaying of the letter
string, frame and letter string modifying figure, the
attribute of the frame image is determined in accordance
with the input letter string to thereby omit the operation
of deciding the frame attribute. By providing letter
string division information to start a new line of a letter
string at a position that the user is intended and display
position information which determines the display position
of each letter of the letter string, the operation of
starting a new line and disposing a letter is simplified.
When a letter string is input, it is selected from a
plurality of letter strings prepared beforehand. This
selected letter string is edited to omit the operation of
inputting the individual letters. A letter string to be
selected is used as the title of a file which stores edited
image data to facilitate relating between the title of the
file to the edited image. The same image data is used to
display an input speech, file title and others on the
letter input display section, so that the capacity of a
memory used can be small. Since the letter input display
screen simultaneously displays a letter list which displays
input letters, and the image of a frame which surrounds the
input letter string, and displays images of letters
selectively input from the letter list into the image of
the frame, the user can recognize how the input letter
string is displayed on the display screen.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for the
recovery of an organic acid. The organic acid is generated from
the manufacture of a cellulose ester. The first step of the
process is to remove the organic acid from the manufacture of
cellulose ester. The acid is in the form of a weak acid stream
comprising of the organic acid and water. The weak acid stream
is resolved, via a solvent extraction, to form an extractor
overhead stream and raffinate stream. The raffinate stream
comprises solvent, water, and alcohol. The alcohol is produced
in the recovery process by hydrolysis of the solvent after the
solvent extraction. The raffinate stream is resolved into a
overhead stream and a bottom stream. The overhead stream
comprises water, alcohol, and solvent. Excess organic acid is
added to the overhead stream to form a feed stream. The feed
stream is catalyzed, via ion exchange resins, whereby a portion
of the alcohol is esterified to the solvent. The solvent, thus
produced, is recycled into the recovery process.

Abstract: A speech encoding method and apparatus in which an input
speech signal is divided.in terms of blocks or frames as encoding
units and encoded in terms of the encoding units, in which explosive
and fricative consonants can be impeccably reproduced, while there
is no risk of foreign sound being generated at a transient portion
between voiced (V) and unvoiced (UV) portions, so that the speech
with high clarity devoid of "stuffed" feeling may be produced. The
encoding apparatus includes a first encoding unit 110 for finding
residuals of linear predictive coding (LPC) of an input speech signal
for performing harmonic coding and a second encoding unit 120
encoding the input speech signal by waveform coding. The first
encoding unit 110 and the second encoding unit 120 are used for
encoding a voiced (V) portion and an unvoiced (UV) portion of the
input signal, respectively. The constitution of a code excited linear
prediction (CELP) encoding employing vector quantization by a
closed loop search of an optimum vector using an analysis-by-synthesis
method is used for the second encoding unit 120.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing a specified test on a
semiconductor memory device having a clock generating circuit (13) and a
control circuit (15) in which the clock generating circuit generates a clock
signal (CK) in response to an operation request signal (Sx) and the control
circuit generates a reset signal (S4) for stopping generation of the clock
signal after a predetermined period of time. The control circuit also
generates at least one operation control signal (S2, S3) for performing a
fundamental operation of the memory device in response to the clock
signal. The test is performed by inputting a test mode signal (St) to the
semiconductor memory device to initiate the specified test, delaying
generation of the reset signal for a period of time exceeding the
predetermined period of time, carrying out the specified test while the test
mode signal is being input, and terminating the specified test by stopping
input of the test mode signal. A fundamental operation is performed over a
relatively long period of time (a long cycle) in a semiconductor memory
device of the type which generates an internal clock signal. Since a failure
which appears only in a long cycle operation can be detected, a test for a
short circuit between a bit line (B) and a cell plate (C) can be performed.

through T1n are converted into the program streams at the
format conversion circuits F11 through F1n, then converted
into the data forms corresponding to the data bus 5 in the
data bus interfaces IF11 through IF1n, so as to output them
to the data bus 5. Therefore, the data having a plurality
of programs at the same time are transmitted on the data bus
5 in a multiplexed state. The data bus interface circuit 6
restores the data from the data bus 5 into the original data
and supplies it to the storage medium 7. Accordingly, the

Abstract: Stents are coated with a polymer such that the polymeric
coating binds the crossover points of the wires, or, in the case
of a zig-zag stent, binds adjacent zig-zags of wires without
occluding the interstices of the stent lattice. Suitable polymers
include polyurethane, polycarbonate urethane, polyurethane urea,
silicone rubber, polyisobutylene copolymer (with styrene, etc.),
polyolefin, polyester, glycolated polyester, polyamide, amorphous
polyamide, combinations of the above and the like. Biodegradable
polymers such as polyisobuterate, polyvalerate, polylactic acid,
polyglycolic acid and combinations of these are also suitable.
The polymer can be reacted in place without a solvent, such as two
component polyurethanes, or silicone rubbers, or the reacted
polymer can be dissolved in an appropriate solvent, for example,
dimethylacetamide for the polyurethanes, toluene for the
polyolefins, or heptane for the silicone rubbers. In order to
enhance bonding of the polymer to the stent wires, the metallic
stent can be primed prior to coating. The hoop strength of a
polymer coated stent is improved due to locking of the crossover
points and preventing free motion of the stent wires relative to
each other.

Abstract: An improved communications buffer system is provided which dynamically
allocates the size and number of buffers to optimally receive packets of
communications data over a communications link. The size and
number of transmit buffers is first determined, and this determination is made
after considering how much pool area is available in the printer's memory
system at that moment. Then the receive buffers are next configured. The first step
is to perform a preliminary calculation to ensure that the receive buffer size is
not set greater than the amount of data that can be received during the
maximum turnaround time for this particular configuration between a host
computer and the printer. After this has been determined, the receive buffer
size is provisionally set to a power of 2, and the number of buffers is set
equal to the remaining pool size divided by this receiver buffer size. After
ensuring that there are at least a certain minimum number of receive buffers,
then a "window size" is set to a certain maximum size, at least for infrared
communications ports.
